Moreover, suddenchanges such as job loss, sickness, market changes, natural disasters, and economic shifts caninfluence career aspirations and development (Duffy & Dik, 2009).Third, spiritual and religious factors may influence a person’s career aspirations (Duffy & Dik,2009). A study by Abe and Chikoko (2020) regarding STEM graduate student career decisions inSouth Africa noted that spirituality and morality are closely linked and provide direction andmeaning in one’s career choice.

forman integral part of graduate school in higher institutions as they serve as mentors, advisors, andexpert guides to graduate students during their academic journey. In many institutions, they alsoplay an integral part in determining who gets accepted into engineering graduate programs. Forthese reasons, we consider the perception of faculties to be an influential factor to be studied forthis research, as they are the central point of contact and decision-making for any graduatestudent. They are also a major support system to graduate students and play a pivotal role insteering their academic and professional journey. The role of faculty goes beyond providingacademic guidance; they also assist with funding opportunities, mentor students

Discrimination has been reported from these groups due to white and male-dominated environments [16]–[18]. Some papers demonstrated how rapid changes of requirementsfor doctoral students in preparing for their future career is a reason for the misalignment ofstudents’ expectations in the program [19]–[21].These personal and institutional environments have an impact on engineering graduate students’mental health [17].

In response to an interview prompt asking if and howfaculty members promoted respect for student differences, the faculty member explained thatstudent differences transcended nationality or ethnicity. They spoke specifically about the genderdifferences, differences in socioeconomic statuses (SES), and personality types in their classroomsand how those differences translate when enforcing school policies. One such policy was thatstudents had to leave their cameras on during online classes and exams. The faculty member wenton to explain that this policy had to be relaxed because some lower SES students had problemsjoining class because of the bandwidth demands. Another faculty

Forthis paper, the questions regarding the decision to attend graduate school were isolated andexamined using standard statistical methods. From these statistical tests, we were able to obtainresults which help us understand how priorities differ between these two student groups and mayaid universities in their recruitment of graduate students from both backgrounds.IntroductionThe decision to pursue a master’s degree is life-altering for an engineer.

It is arguable that harnessing this compassionate and humanistic disposition atthe early stages of an educator’s career can be further complemented by gaining exposure toEBIPs and guidance on how to specifically implement them. This momentum may then carry onand resonate with colleagues and other faculty members in the department. The foregoingstatements related to the challenges of in-class demonstrations illustrate several factors related toresource availability and EBIP implementation which are bulleted below: • Providing teaching opportunities for graduate students creates a path for individuals of a younger generation to try out alternative teaching methods and

In addition to providing opportunities to socialize withother like-minded students, this would provide students with the opportunity to receivementorship from faculty members, which is tied to higher engineering persistence [32]. Asindicated in Figure 2, all participants expressed interest in interdisciplinary research.Similarly, we suggest that universities join forces with industry partners to offer and effectivelymarket interdisciplinary internships, especially towards URMs. Internships have been shown toincrease retention and graduation rates for engineering students [53], particularly URMs [54],making them a promising setting for interdisciplinary collaborations

States.Communication in engineering continues to be an important element of engineering education,especially in terms of future employability. Universities are continually measured, ranked, andevaluated for performance-based funding based on their students’ employment numbersfollowing graduation. However, a divide exists between the level of communication competencyemployers expect from recent graduates versus their actual competency. Despite over twodecades of Communication (and English) faculty efforts, extensive research, and grantinvestment by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in engineering communication educationsince EC2000, the calls for universities to teach communication competence to engineeringundergraduates has only grown louder.At its core
